The full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has lasted 1418 days: the aggressor has not achieved any strategic goal

The war of Russia against Ukraine has lasted 1418 days, exceeding the duration of the Soviet-German war during the Second World War of 1941-1945. The Russian Federation has not achieved its strategic goals, having suffered more than 1.2 million losses.

The full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine has been going on longer than the war of 1941-1945 between the Nazi Third Reich and the USSR – 1418 days. This was reported by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga.

Sybiga notes that during this war, Russia committed atrocities on Ukrainian soil unprecedented in scale and cruelty, unseen since the Second World War. However, it has not managed to break Ukraine or the spirit of our people.

During this time, Russia has not achieved any strategic goal of its aggression. Instead, it suffered enormous losses – more than 1.2 million killed and wounded, as well as huge losses in military equipment.

“As Russia intensifies its terror in the middle of winter in yet another attempt to undermine Ukraine’s resistance and international unity, now is the time to increase pressure on Moscow with additional tough sanctions and provide increased support to Ukraine,” the minister stressed.

“Ukraine remains strong and committed to working closely with the United States and our European allies to bring about lasting peace and ensure long-term security in Europe,” he concluded.
